Spurs make “two” many mistakes against Cavs

See what I did there?  No?
We’ll, last night the Spurs didn’t play very well against the Cavs.  With Lebron and Shaq out with injuries, this was about as good of a time to play Cleveland as any would be, unfortunately it didn’t work out so well.

Spurs supernova Suns, 113-110

When they first broke into the league I admit I used to confuse Jason Richardson and Richard Jefferson.  Not because they looked the same, but over time, I figured out a way to correctly identify the two.  Why do I bring this up?  Because, yesterday, both were crucial players in the Spurs/Suns battle.  Jefferson played one of his best games as a Spur, slashing to the hoop and hitting 3 pointers.  Meanwhile, Richardson had an easy opportunity to tie the game, but missed an uncontested dunk with 41.8 seconds left.
